Top pick: #8 (JAKESAM ) - Excellent second out barn (Jerry Hollendorfer 26%) sends out this colt by "Smoke Glacken" who finished a strong third her when debuting July 21. Has a pair of nice works since and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #12 (E Z Led ) - Gelding raced evenly in his debut July 9 at Hollywood and has two fine local drills since. Bejarano takes the reins and this second timer should be a square price.
3rd pick: #6 (Purgestein) - Drops off a pace-chasing effort here July 14 facing tougher. In a very good barn (Jeff Bonde) and colt has worked a near "bullet" since.
4th pick: #3 (Liquid asset) - The main speed, he's finished second in his last pair at this tag and will get the addition of blinkers for this. Win candidate.
